One-pot lactic acid production from rice straw: A consolidated bioprocess with enzymatic pretreatment-saccharification and Microbial co-fermentation
Global demand for platform chemicals and biomaterials urges us to seek sustainable strategies along with waste valorization to produce lactic acid (LA) sustainably. The study has designed a one-pot fermentation strategy by employing in-house produced ligninolytic and saccharifying enzymes on rice straw along with a consortium of hexose and pentose sugar co-fermenting microorganisms. Biological pretreatment with in-house ligninolytic enzyme was selected for the one-pot strategy from a...
Sensitivity increase of 3D printed, self-sensing, carbon fibers structures with conductive filament matrix due to flexural loading
Announce Type: replace Abstract: The excellent structural and piezoresistive properties of continuous carbon fiber make it suitable for both structural and sensing applications. This work studies the use of 3D printed, continuous carbon fiber reinforced beams as self-sensing structures. It is demonstrated how the sensitivity of these carbon fiber strain gauges can be increased irreversibly by means of a pretreatment by pre-stressing the sensors with a large compressive bending load.
Visibly Transparent, Near-Infrared Absorbing Nanofluids Enable High-Efficiency and Safe Laser Lithotripsy
Laser lithotripsy (LL) is the gold standard for urinary stone management yet maximizing ablation efficiency while maintaining procedural safety remains clinically challenging. Here, we present a visibly transparent, near-infrared (NIR)-absorbing ITO@SiO2 nanofluid irrigation strategy that significantly enhances LL efficiency without compromising endoscopic visibility. By spectrally matching the absorption profile of ITO@SiO2 with the clinical Holmium:YAG laser wavelength, ablation efficiency...

No Modality Left Behind: Adapting to Missing Modalities via Knowledge Distillation for Brain Tumor Segmentation
arXiv:2509.15017v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Accurate brain tumor segmentation is essential for preoperative evaluation and personalized treatment. Multi-modal MRI is widely used due to its ability to capture complementary tumor features across different sequences. However, in clinical practice, missing modalities are common, limiting the robustness and generalizability of existing deep learning methods that rely on complete inputs, especially under non-dominant modality combinations.
Why dirty farm plastic matters: Cleaner mulch film could cut landfill waste and fossil fuel use
Why dirty farm plastic matters: Cleaner mulch film could cut landfill waste and fossil fuel use Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor Nearly a billion pounds of plastic film mulch is used in American agriculture each year, and most of it is dumped into landfills. New research from Washington State University shows that recycling could be a feasible alternative, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and keeping plastics out of the waste stream. The researchers recycled plastic...
PETase Kubu enables near-complete enzymatic depolymerization of commercial PLA/PBAT blend mulch film
Agricultural mulch films improve crop productivity, but post-use recovery and recycling remain difficult because the films are thin, fragmented, dispersed across fields, and contaminated. Commercial PLA/PBAT blends are increasingly used as biodegradable mulch film materials, yet these films exhibit slow or incomplete degradation under environmental conditions. Here, we show that Kubu, a thermostable PETase from Kutzneria buriramensis, rapidly depolymerizes commercial PLA/PBAT mulch film...
Nike World Cup Uniforms Made of Recycled Textiles Won’t Solve Fashion Waste
In June, athletes from 16 countries will kick off the World Cup wearing other people’s used clothing. They’ll be sporting uniforms made from recycled fabric, potentially including a mix of scraps and old clothes. It’s the latest initiative from Nike, one of the world’s largest apparel companies, to incorporate more recycled material into the attire it makes.
